(From Matt Strawn, Chairman Republican Party of Iowa):

Thousands of Iowans will be enjoying the sights, sounds and tastes of the Iowa State Fair. I want to personally invite you to visit the Iowa GOP booth at the fair, which runs this Thursday, August 12 through Sunday, August 22. Republican candidates, office holders and national leaders are all planning stops at the Iowa GOP booth to meet the scores of Iowans who come by every day.

I encourage all Iowans to stop by and talk with our candidates, to hear their principled solutions for moving this state forward. We’ll also have absentee ballot requests if you’re ready to send a message that we need principled, conservative government here in Iowa.

In addition to meeting fellow Republicans, you have a chance to win a pair of tickets to the sold-out Iowa-Iowa State football game. The theme for this year’s fair is “non-stop fun” and what can be more fun than the traditional in-state rivalry? You can enter to win by texting the word “Cyclones” or “Hawkeyes” (whichever team you plan to root for) to 41513, or enter at the booth. A random winner will be chosen at the conclusion of the Fair.

The Iowa GOP booth will be in its traditional location along the North wall of the air-conditioned Varied Industries Building.

Here’s the current schedule of appearances by GOP candidates, office-holders and national leaders. Please note this is a preliminary schedule. Other appearances will be added during the fair.

I look forward to seeing you at the Iowa State Fair!

Matthew N. Strawn
Chairman
Republican Party of Iowa
